I'm sitting here at home, listening to Scott Franzke and Larry Andersen calling the Pirates-Phillies game from Florida. First at-bat I heard: Chase Utley double. Second at-bat: monstrous Ryan Howard three-run homer. Currently Joe Savery is on the mound, in a bit of a jam after allowing back-to-back singles, recording a strikeout, and then issuing a walk.

But the Phils are leading 5-1, baseball has returned, and life is very, very good.
